My invention relates to Waxing andpolislr l ingy machines.

to a brush, and' eredin detail vand specifically claimed.

1 The object of my invention'is to provide a machine that Will automatically Wax thev i' floors and will then polish the oors after the Waxing has been stopped. f

Another object of my invention is to provide a machine vwhich has a container forwax attached thereto,

certain temperature during the operation of Waxing.V Y l The invention Will'be hereinafter consid- Rei"- erence will now be' had to thedrawing forming a part ofthis application, wherein there is'illustrate'd a preferred embodiment of my invention, but yit is understood that the ele nients'theieof can beyaried or changed as for shape, size, or form, and various modidetail andin the arrangel lications thereof in l nient of the parts may be Vmadeby those the spirit of skilled in the art, Without the invention,"y Fig. 1 is a plan view of the machine.
